Janos Baltor: I didn’t think it was possible, but you’ve become even more beautiful since our last meeting!

Alissa: Yeah, I s’pose I’ve aged well.

Janos Baltor: It’s quite windy today, don’t you think? This is no weather for a young lady. It’s bad for the complexion! I can even feel myself how the wind affects my skin. Shouldn’t we go inside instead?

Janos Baltor: I could never forgive myself if you caught a cold, delicate as thou art. Like a virgin moss rose in the morning dew!

Alissa: I think I can stand the weather for a while longer. But you might want to go inside yourself, Janos, pale as you are!

Janos Baltor: You think? How embarrassing! That must be excitement because of the party. But you know that.

Alissa: Party?

Janos Baltor: Why, yes. My uncle is celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary the day after tomorrow.

Hey guys, Powree, Knowzer! I’ve been reading for about four weeks now, and I must say I really like the comic. The characters have potential, the drawing is a high quality, and the story feels like it’s just waiting for the chance to go places.

While I am eager for the plot to get a move on, I appreciate the things you do to make the wait worthwhile – the expressions in this page, especially the fourth panel, are solid. I have a feeling I’m going to get a lot more grins from watching this Janos guy, too!

YES called it! Here is the super awkward invitation they will receive! HIJINX HERE WE COME! 😀 And it seems every comic that passes by, Viviana just becomes that much more awesome. Janos could use a few tips on not scaring the heck out of any potential suitor within a mile radius.

As far as the tips on not scaring someone off go, sure… Janos could use them. He could also find a better use for the first 5 hours of any given day than the apparent self-beautification and hairstyling that is implied.
I highly doubt Alissa is attracted to the girly, overbearing, overprotective kind! I almost feel sorry for the guy.

I half expected Alissa to falcon punch Janos after the third panel, anyone else?

I guess she rather wants to falcon-punsh Vivi for saying she´s Ilias´s fiancé. At least i interpreted her speech bubble in the first panel to be a result of Vivi´s lie/cover-up than than of Janos creepy flowery speech.
Or i´m mistaken and she was annoyed at him in the first panel.

But i like to think she was effected more bei Vivi than some guy who seems to hit on her every time they meet.^^

Alissa´s pretty cute when she blushes cause she gets treated like a girl/woman instead like the tough warrior she is. So adorable~ <3

I was a little taken aback at “moss rose” because I don’t normally attibute “moss” to compliments, but apparently in the language of flowers it’s associated with voluptiousness and endearing love due to being a soft and pleasing rose flower completely without thorns.

You know…for it being a bit of an impromptu cover…they actually make a realistic-looking couple, here. Regardless of whether something comes from the chemistry, it’s pretty dang undeniable that they at least HAVE some chemistry, here. That they had basically the same reaction is showing how well they actually get along.

Like I said, that doesn’t mean that they’ll actually get together (I am neither for nor against a shipping of the two), but it at the very least shows how well their story will hold. Because to an outside observer not knowing any better…well, they’re totally actually acting like a couple, here.
